SKAGWAY MUSEUM
Skagway’s history is intriguing, so it should come as no surprise that the Skagway Museum is one of the finest in the Inside Passage. It occupies the entire first floor of the century-old McCabe Building, a former college, and is devoted to various aspects of local history, including the Klondike Gold Rush and Alaska Native baskets, beadwork, and carvings.
THE DAYS OF '98 SHOW
Entertaining audiences for over 100 years, The Days of ’98 Show is the Inside Passage’s best and longest-running melodrama. The evening show begins with 'mock gambling,' moves on to Robert Service poetry, and then culminates with an entertaining melodrama covering the town's gold-rush days and focusing on Soapy Smith and his slippery gang.
Originally built in 1898 for the stampeders headed for the Klondike gold fields, the White Pass & Yukon Railroadis today the most popular tour from Skagway.

The town also serves as the departure point for one of Alaska’s most popular backpacking adventures: The Chilkoot Trail, a three- to four-day hike along the same route that the stampeders followed on their way to the Klondike Gold Fields in Canada t...
GOLD RUSH CEMETERY
Gold Rush Cemetery, a 1.5-mile walk from downtown Skagway, is the destination for many visitors who become infatuated with the story of Soapy Smith and Frank Reid, the villainous conman who ran the town and the city surveyor who staged a gunfight with him. Both died from the incident and are now buried in Gold Rush Cemetery. Signs lead across the railroad tracks to the cemetery, which is home to many stampeders' graves as well as the plots of Reid and Smith. From Reid's gravestone, it's a sho...
DYEA GHOST TOWN
In 1898, the nearby town of Dyeawas Skagway's rival. Located at the foot of the Chilkoot Trail, Dyea was the staging area for thousands of stampeders on their way to Lake Bennett for the float to Dawson City. After the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad chose Skagway as its departure point in 1900, Dyea quickly died. Today, the town is the site of gold-rush cabins, the pilings of Dyea Wharf, and Slide Cemetery, where 47 men and women were buried after perishing in an avalanche on the Chilkoot...
